Olive Tree Screening for new builds
Privacy screening for new builds is one of the most researched topics for new-build homeowners, and olive tree screening isn’t far behind. Whilst new builds are favoured by many for their blank canvas, they all too often come with overlooked gardens. Whilst this can be a drawback, it’s one that can be overcome with carefully considered privacy screening.

What type of screening should I use?
It’s tempting to go to a DIY store and buy the highest trellis and planters possible to screen your overlooking neighbours. However, trellis can make a garden feel enclosed and, in some cases, it can even make the space feel smaller. So, to avoid this issue look at plants such as olive tree screening, as they can add thickness and wonderful evergreen colour. They also provide a broken view, not continuous like trellis, creating a sense of privacy but also space.

How high should my privacy screening be?
Privacy screening works as a great distraction technique, helping to draw the eye away from overlooking windows and neighbours. However, it’s important to consider the size of your garden and how far away overlooking properties are. This will dictate the height and size of your screening and how many trees you will need to keep prying eyes away.

Why choose olive tree screening?
The biggest advantage of choosing an olive tree for privacy screening is that they come in so many shapes and sizes. So, whatever your need and budget, there will be the perfect olive tree for you. Here are some of the most popular ones used for garden screening…
